Health Insurance Information

2015-2016 Health Insurance Information

Stevens Institute of Technology mandates that all full-time students (12 Undergraduate or 9 Graduate credits) have health insurance.

For insurance purposes, a Full-time student is based upon registration for On-Campus courses or PHD Research and excludes Web courses.A student may request insurance eligibility if Full-time status includes Web courses by contacting the Student Service Center at 201-216-5555.

Students with proof of comparable coverage are eligible to waive the student health insurance. Students who are enrolled for coverage with University Health Plans must use the Temporary Policy Information located (on page 22) in their brochure for their Undergraduate or Graduate class level until they receive their permanent insurance ID card. (Brochure can be found on the forms page.)
